Chapter 7 Boon and Bane

Later that day,Summer's mother came out of her bathroom,with swallowed red eyes.

She was hungry,that made her comeout of the room. She went into the kitchen,haphazardly looking into the fridge.

She grabbed the first thing she saw and wanted to sit down in the living room, until she saw her husband there,

watching baseball.

She stood there for like a few moments,waiting for her husband to turn around,like he had eyes in the back of his head.

"Why do you always occupie the tv ? I want to watch it sometime too. Don't you think so ?"She was on the edge and sad about what happened at the same time.But for god sake's she would not tell Neil what had happened the moments before he came back home.

"I have no eyes in my back,did you notice that already ?"He answered without turning around.

"Yeah right,but you could once only think about ,what I want."

She really got on his nerves.How could she say he was not interested of what she wants.It was always everything about her.

"So at noon you wanted to get your nails done,didn't you? So are you happy now ? Are your nails okay?"he said in a twiddled voice.

"Yeah and they look great,but I thought you are not intrested in sort of that stuff."

Now he was turning around."That is the point,YOU don't know what is interesting me and what isn't.You are just guessing what could be right.Think about that ."And with that he turned around again.

She walked 'round the sofa and grabbed the controler and switched off the tv.

" Thought about it. And I think you are now not really interested about Baseball.You can carry my bags out of the trunk,we had no food ."

"No food,come on the whole fridge is full of it."

"Stop searching any reasons not to help me.Just go. Meanwhile I will talk to Summer."

Neil had no choice. If he wanted to rescue their marriage,he had to follow the dragon's words.

So he put his slippers on and took the key off the clipboard.

Suddenly,when he stepped outside,he heart his wife screaming.

"WHERE THE HELL IS SUMMER NEIL? YOU WERE AT HOME FOR NOW LIKE 2 HOURS !"

Neil turned back inside. The neighbours should not take part in their fight,he closed the door.

" I don't know,the last time I saw her was when she went to the bathroom,maybe she is still there.I am sure she didn't just vanish.I would have noticed that"

Summer's mother was running aroundn hectically,to see if Summer was in the bathroom.She was not.

"Obvious you DIDN'T! You are such an idiot. Baseball is more important to you than your daughter. See that 's the point."

"See I do not know,If it was her telling me that she was leaving now,or if it was the tv. I was confused"

Summer's mother was furios."You don't know,if it was reality? Hello? Do you know that you have a daughter? Or did you loose that information in your confusion too? Come on we are going to search her,we will see what she will say when I tell her that you forgot her."

"But that is not true!" He was scared and worrying about Summer. Was it really his fault?

" No contradiction,you are guilty in that case. I don't know what is wrong with you Neil."She was heading to the car.

So did Neil.

He did not know what had happened to their marriage. It seemed to be ending. And the end was near...

This was just one of the uncountable fights,Neil had lost.

But what he didn't know was: When the truth would come out,he would win something important...
